A North Carolina district court judge and three other county officials have been selected to participate in a national program designed to improve the lives of young people in the juvenile justice system, the News & Observer reports.
The National Association of Counties' County Juvenile Justice Innovation Network, or CJJIN, is a nine-month peer-learning experience that will include visits to successful programs and sessions on program and policy changes that improve youth outcomes.
Cumberland County District Court Judge Tiffany Whitfield, Department of Public Safety Chief Court Counselor Jason Hunter, and Group CEO Kevin Brooks will participate.
"Being selected for this cohort is important because it will help ensure the practices and programs the county invests in encourage positive youth development, preserve public safety, and reduce overall costs," says Cumberland County District Court Judge Nichelle Gaines.
The group's goal is to create a convening body for youth service system leaders to coordinate, identify gaps in services, and build equitable and sustainable solutions. Read the Entire Article
